EPSON EPL6200-A tough competitor in laser printing

Advantages: Fast, excellent quality, relatively cheap to buy
Disadvantages: Bland design, high cost of consumables

...I'm quite fond of Epson laser printers, for me they represent good quality and speed at phenomenally low prices. My first Epson laser printer was the EPL 5700L, but things have moved on since then. That was a bog standard, 8 pages per minute printer, but it didn't stop me being impressed, you can read my earlier review on this printer in my archive. But I knew my EPL 5700 wasn't going to last forever, and when I found out it needed its toner replacing which would cost £50, I thought I'd jump in and buy a new one (I was in a spending mood!) When Looking at printers I think theres a few things to bear in mind, so I present to you... **DALES SEVEN WONDERS FOR CHOOSING THE RIGHT PRINTER** 1) The company 2) The Cost 3) The Quality 4) The Speed 5) Toner life and cost of consumables 6) Design 7) Reliability and Usage So...

Review of Epson EPL 6200

The EPL 6200N, A Monochrome MONSTER

Advantages: Highly industrial, capable of printing off at amazing speeds. Low noises. Is aesthetically pleasing.
Disadvantages: Slightly pricy. Few extra features.

...If you've ever been a student, you'll know how difficult it is to tackle exam revision, coursework. and homework assignments. Not to mention the pressures each subject can take upon a person. You'd also realize the amount of emphasis in recent times on using computers and IT related utilities in order to accomplish the aformentioned tasks. My sixth form department recently purchased this, the Epson EPL 6200N, a laser printed designed for medium sized workgroups within any office or school. With the latest set of A - Level exams just a few months away, and with several sheets worth of information needing printing, I had the oppurtunity to test the EPL 6200N out... The Printer A quick query to the librarian told me the printer cost about 270 pounds inc. VAT, though unfortunately I cannot quote the place of purchase. Thats...

Review of Epson EPL 6200N

Excelent Epson, again.

Advantages: Very Quick to print. Good DPI. GREAT value for money.
Disadvantages: Ugly. not practical for large buisness'

...Epson EPL 6200L The Epson EPL 6200 is a ?High performance A4 mono professional printer? or so say Epson. Never being afraid to give new technology a go I jumped upon the opportunity to play with this rather large and bulky laser printer. My father is a dentist and he needed a hard wearing, cheap printer to print leaflets, booklets and all manner of other things you generally find information upon. For a hard wearing and a (long term) cheap printer I recommended to my dad a laser printer as there is no need to buy ink-cartridges and you can print thousands of one copy. So we make a trip to good ole? PC world where this was retailing for £110, checking out the specifics and not really being bothered what to buy we chose this because it looked as if it would do the job. Driving home, I looked at the box, rather big and white it gave...

EPL 5700 - An economical tank!

Advantages: Good toner life, crisp black text, cheap, fast
Disadvantages: Frequent paper jams, bulky

...I came home from work one day, and had to print a black and white report off the internet; it took about 30 minutes and was 100 pages in length; by the time I had finished printing it the black catridge had run out. It was around this time I realised I would need something faster and more economical for everday print offs. So I invested in my first black and white laser printer; the EPL 5700. The printer met my needs perfectly; essentially I needed a printer which was quick and easy for printing non - important documents which was why I didn't fork out and get a colour laser. It did its job perfectly and still is doing. The toner life is excellent, lasting about 6000 pages before replacement (I've had the printer a year and still have the original toner in!) The drum units last 60000 pages so I should get plenty use out of it...

The Epson "Stylish" DX6000

Advantages: Envelope printing, hidden ports, great design
Disadvantages: Disappointing LCD display

...EPSON STYLUS DX6000 The Epson stylus DX6000 printer is a nice size and really compact for what it offers. Its silver/ grey colour gives the printer an extremely professional and modern look. In fact, it was its striking appearance that immediately drew me to it when shopping one afternoon in PC world with no real intention to purchase a printer that day. I love gadgets and this printer is certainly accommodating of my needs. I really like the numerous ports and slots it has for expandable memory and external flash drives. Everything from your standard SD, MS, xD and even CF cards can be plugged into this machine for easy access to your pics. It also includes the common PictBridge port which I know is a favourite for a lot of people. The port are cleverly concealed with a cover over them. This has the added benefit of them not...

Review of Epson Stylus DX 6000

EPSON does it again ... and again

Advantages: A reliable family of work horse printers
Disadvantages: None

...I have used EPSON laser printers for several years. Starting with the EPL5500, I have had experience with EPL5700, EPL5700L, EPL5800 and very recently EPL5900. I am rather confused by the subcategories offered in this section. I cannot find a model labelled EPL5700PTx and assume it to be mixed up with the EPL5700PS which has a PostScript upgrade. The model with the suffix 'i' appear to be designed for the AppleMac computer. The models with the suffix 'L' are Windows dedicated printers. All these printers are Black and White lasers. This review is based primarily on my experience of the EPL5800PS. I was in the need for a new laser printer for my home office situation. My needs are not that uncommon in that I do a lot of repetitive word processing. As I standardised much of my output in the years when WordPerfect for DOS was king my...

Review of Epson EPL 5700L

EPSON Printer - a definite workhorse

Advantages: Reliable, solid.
Disadvantages: Not the fastest or most stylish on the market.

..., and the quality is certainly good enough for sending business correspondance. Paper can either be loaded in the paper tray (mines takes 500 sheets without too much trouble) or via the paper feeder - the darker grey area on the tray that sticks out. For pages that are to be printed face-down (as is usually the case), the pages are retrieved via the slot on the top at the front, although I recommend you lift the lighter grey flap on top if you intend to print more than 2-3 pages otherwise they tend to fall out. Pages to be printed face-up are retrieved via a slot on the top at the back, but you will need to reposition the lighter grey flap at the back first, otherwise the pages will fall. This can be a bit fiddly so I would not recommend trying to do it too often. The cost of toners is on a par with other brands, I usually buy Epson S050087...

Review of Epson EPL 5900

Epson Dx6000 - A Great printer @ A Great Price!

Advantages: Cheaper Cartridges, Looks Smart, Good Quality Prints and Scans
Disadvantages: Takes up a fair bit of space, slightly noisy!

...I spent a while on the net and looking around shops for a cheap All-In-One printer that would also produce good quality prints and good quality scans. After reading reviews of various printers I finally settled for the Epson Dx6000 at a bargain price of just £75! USEFUL FEATURES Some useful features that I have enjoyed so far are: - The camera card slots for ease of printing digital prints - The LCD Screen (displaying ink levels and your pictures from any inserted card or USB device, also allowing you to use the printer standalone without a computer) - The cheap cartridges that can be replaced by colour so that it's not necessary to replace the entire colour cartridge when one colour runs out! OVERALL QUALITY The printing quality on this machine is exceptional and you could go out and spend a whole lot more...

Review of Epson Stylus DX 6000

Epson Stylus Multi task printer - Great value

Advantages: Very easy to use...attractive...does preety much everything
Disadvantages: tiny bit chunky but is a scanner so....

...I was searching for a smart but cheap printer and scanner to use every so often just for a few documents, photocopying and photoprinting, luckily i found this for around a total of £100, with paper, ink and 3 years insurance, in the past i have had 2 canon printers and both were more expensive and have broke after the first few months!, so of course i went for a change in brand - why not Epson. Why this printer? It seemed to have everything i needed in a printer and everything i thought could be in a printer and it would just come in handy every other day. Despite all the options the printer was very easy to set up (plug the usb and mains plug in, pop the installation disk in, agree to terms and conditions press ok and wait.) and very easy to use (example for a scan, check there is enough paper, put the desired picture...

DX6000

Advantages: None as far as I can see.
Disadvantages: Refer to review

...also accept A3 envelopes with no trouble and will even go up to 9.5". The a4 envelopes can also be printed in PORTRAIT mode. This machine has been very costly to me, the DX6000 and the support by Epson needs a lot to be desired, in fact there has been none. Based on my experience I would not reccomend this machine to others....
